Abstract
This paper presents a vision of tamed AI, an AI technology that would maximize its benefits to society and individuals. The need for such a technology has been discussed at length under the umbrella term of Beneficial AI, yet there have been no proposals for how to actually implement such a system. In this paper, we discuss the concept of domesticating (or taming) AI, how this would apply to AI technology, and how it could lead to a symbiotic human—machine system. We refer to this proposed AI concept as a symbiotic AI model for Beneficial AI.
